We report a prospective study of the feasibility of employing specially trained physiotherapists to screen neonates for congenital dislocation of the hip. During ten years 42,241 babies were screened, using clinical tests; 255 were diagnosed and treated by a Pavlik harness. In the same period 13 children presented late with congenital dislocation of the hip which had not been detected by the screening programme.
